Prior to his ROH TV Championship match with Samoa Joe on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Minoru Suzuki spoke with Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso to promote the bout.
According to Suzuki, he’s planning to “hurt” Samoa Joe later tonight.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his plan to make Samoa Joe suffer: “Many fans think this matchup is very special, but for me, I have to stay true to myself. I am here to hurt people. The opponent truly does not matter. This week, I will make Samoa Joe suffer.”
On how people act brave until they face him: “People are brave until they step into the ring with me. Hopefully, Samoa Joe is not scared. I don’t know him well, but he will know me by the time we are done.”
On representing NJPW for this matchup: “I am wrestling for New Japan Pro-Wrestling. And that is what I want—I am aiming for the IWGP title.”
